Gained three of his five hurdling wins over C&D; would appeal more on ground slower than good but last month's low-key reappearance run ought to have teed him up for this return to Cartmel; no surprise if he features.

Won here in 2023 but probably better known as a Cartmel regular now (gained last two wins there); off since a poor run in November and might be of greater interest when back at Cartmel and with this outing behind him.
